Of the 138 minor league players mentioned on this list that have been suspended for their use of performance enhancing drugs 21.73% percent of them have had the opportunity to play in the in the MLB.
Think about that... over one in every five minor leaguers who used performance enhancing drugs have had the opportunity to play big league ball. It is no wonder why Major Leage Baseball closed their eyes to this epedemic for so long.
The biggest name player I noticed on the list was Jon Nunnally. Nunnally was originally selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 39th round of the 1990 draft. After attending college, he was then selected in the 3rd round of the 1992 draft by the Cleveland Indians.
He went on to play for the Kansas City Royals, Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds and the New York Mets and also spent some time in Japan.
After hitting a home run in his 1st big league at bat, he went on to hit .246 over the course of 6 seasons. Nunnally appeared in a total of 364 games, while hitting 42 home runs and driving in 125 runs. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/N/Jon-Nunnally.shtml
